Chapter 97

Following the Holy Person, the Ox Demon King was also quite well-traveled and knowledgeable; he had once seen a primeval anomaly named Xiao Yue Tian Lang.

This bloodline is at the Golden Immortal realm from birth, and can smoothly advance to Great Luo Golden Immortal through cultivation.

However, this powerful demon race bloodline has vanished without a trace in the endless long river.

But their most outstanding feature is the wolf hair in the middle of the forehead, just like Xiao Tian's current appearance.

That is precisely why the Ox Demon King still has an impression of them, but in terms of physique, Xiao Tian is still far behind.

Pa!

Xiao Tian's body suddenly emitted a bursting sound, followed by continuous crackling, and his body expanded at a visible speed.

His fur also became more lustrous.

After a while, Xiao Tian finally completed the final transformation.

The entire dog's body is now twice its original size; opening his eyes, his pupils full of sharpness, everyone present besides Chen Nuo straightened their expressions.

I feel that Xiao Tian is different from before, with a very powerful sensation.

"Shopkeeper Chen, give me another bowl!" Xiao Tian opened his mouth, still with that lowly tone.

Hu...

Everyone let out a sigh of relief; it was still the original Xiao Tian.

"Get lost!" Chen Nuo scolded: "Do you think this is cold water? You can just drink it?"

"This is already all the essence extracted for you."

Like this...

Xiao Tian, with lingering aftertaste, smacked his lips.

"How do you feel?" Yang Jian opened his mouth to ask.

Xiao Tian froze, then said: "Feeling, it's delicious, hic..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Tian suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Yang Jian asked concernedly.

Lowering his head to look at his round belly, Xiao Tian's tone, filled with uncontainable joy, said: "This Grandfather has broken through to True Immortal!"

True Immortal!

This is the realm he has dreamed of wanting to achieve.

Shopkeeper Chen's soup is truly awesome; it truly extracted the bloodline power completely, with no side effects whatsoever.

Now Xiao Tian's bloodline has evolved into Xiao Yue Tian Gou.

"Oh? So you're actually a True Immortal." The Ox Demon King casually nodded his head; he still thought it was something else.

It made him anticipate in vain, just becoming a little True Immortal.

Peng Demon King also nodded his head; although he didn't speak, his drinking motion seemed to echo the Ox Demon King's.

Others also remained silent, as if in heartless mockery.

Ha!

Turns out there's still a True Immortal vegetable jerk here.

Shocking?

Where is the applause?

Xiao Tian raised his head, waiting a long time only to hear the Ox Demon King's so dry and flat remark, feeling quite embarrassed inside.

"Hey, this Grandfather has advanced to Golden Immortal, why are you all acting like this?"

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Tian Peng silently looked at Xiao Tian, then said: "Shopkeeper Chen is awesome!"

Everyone also nodded in agreement; indeed, Shopkeeper Chen, even a subsequent bone soup could have such efficacy.

Strong!

"I am a True Immortal, yet you guys aren't surprised?" Xiao Tian's inner bragging power couldn't be released, he was anxious.

"Who hasn't been one?" Tian Peng rolled his eyes.

True Immortal?

Isn't that just for beating up a group afterward?

Xiao Tian was thoroughly unconvinced; True Immortal is also awesome, okay!

Although he isn't the strongest, he definitely isn't the weakest.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tian planned to compare himself with those present.

First, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Nuo, then immediately dodged as if touched by electricity—is he going crazy, actually thinking of comparing with the big shot?

Yang Jian?

No way,

He's already a Great Luo Golden Immortal; Xiao Tian, whose strength has advanced, unknowingly became a bit full of himself, even starting to directly call out Erlang Shen's name in his heart.

Ox Demon King, Peng Demon King?

Not bad; these two are renowned demon kings of the demon race, veteran Taiyi Golden Immortal powerhouses.

Tian Peng is even more so unmatched; relying on the awakened divine abilities from Shopkeeper Chen, he can spar with Yang Jian; as for this bear?

Even if he enhanced his strength, he couldn't see through his power; likely he is also of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation.

I go!

Could it really be that he's the weakest?

Xiao Tian's heart also felt a bit overwhelmed.

Not expensive!

Xiao Tian Lang's eyes flashed with sudden inspiration as he turned his head toward a corner—there stood Yang Chan, whose presence was extremely faint.

"You don't even dare to test my strength, do you? You're only a Celestial Immortal now." Xiao Tian Lang questioned.

Yang Chan rolled her eyes and let out a light snort: "What's there to be shocked about? A True Immortal is just a True Immortal—what's so special? Anyway, I have the Lotus Lantern; even if you're a Taiyi Golden Immortal, I'm not afraid."

Xiao Tian Lang:...

He really is the weakest.

"Xiao Tian Lang, does your bloodline awakening grant you no abilities at all?" Yang Jian gave Xiao Tian Lang an out.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian Lang regained his confidence.

"How could there be none!"

Xiao Tian Lang's eyebrows danced with excitement as he proudly declared: "My awakened bloodline is that of the Honghuang rare species Xiao Yue Tian Lang; this bloodline advancement not only granted me full-body enhancement but also raised my cultivation limit—I can now reach the Golden Xian Jing!"

So weak...

Just a Golden Immortal.

Yang Jian's mouth twitched; he had expected some miraculous effect, but it's still just a Honghuang rare species—no wonder it went extinct.

However, Xiao Tian Lang, overly excited, failed to notice Yang Jian's expression and remained immersed in the beautiful fantasy of his immense power.

Ling Mountain, Great Thunder Sound Temple.

"These Three Xias are truly hateful—they dare to casually harm the Buddha's life and must be severely punished!"

"That is only right; the Three Xias disregard the Heavenly Dao, act against heaven, and their crime deserves death!"

Originally solemn, the Great Thunder Sound Temple now resembles a vegetable market.

Though the Buddhas of Ling Mountain have regained their pearl-like radiance, nearly every face bears the marks of burns.

The Buddhas' mouths are never idle—they are all condemning the sins of the Three Xias.

Seeing this, the Tathagata on the main seat also appears somewhat vexed and agitated.

The entire Buddhist community now is like an ox pulling a dung cart.

He and Guanyin, among others, continuously help Buddhism develop—they are the ox exerting effort.

While these Buddhas do nothing practical, only thinking of gaining benefits, they are the dung being pulled.

When exerting effort, they don't show their heads, but once interests are touched, they all come out.

"The matter of the Three Xias and Dingguang Huanxi Buddha will have a definite conclusion later—do not bring it up again." The Tathagata waved his hand, silencing the chattering Buddhas.

Regarding the late-stage Prepared Saint strength of the Tathagata, all the Buddhas know it well.

For a moment, the hall fell silent.

"Let these be set aside for now; the westward journey is what we must resolve."

"Now that monkey has been pacified, and the time for the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet is approaching—though I know the monkey will surely disrupt it—I, as a Buddhist, must take a stance and send someone."

The Tathagata's Buddhist tone resonates, yet he does not know the monkey's current situation.

Having joined the Heavenly Court's forces, to constantly watch the monkey now is to touch Haotian's bottom line.

But since Haotian has already promised the Holy Person to aid the westward journey, he does not believe Haotian would dare ignore the Holy Person's command.

Everything proceeds according to plan—just fine.
